The Maharashtra government has issued a Government Resolution (GR) to use ‘Vande Mataram’ as a preparatory verb instead of “hello” on landlines and mobile phones of all government officials. Earlier in the month of August, Maharashtra Culture Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar had ordered government employees to say ‘Vande Mataram’ instead of hello on phone calls.
Regarding this, AIMIM leader Waris Pathan has said that “BJP does not have issues left. Sometimes they talk about changing the name of the city. If you ask them questions on inflation, unemployment, they run away faster than a cheetah. If you say Vande Mataram, will unemployment reduce, inflation will come down. Their job is to distract.”
In the GR issued by the General Administration Department, it has been said that the officers should create awareness among the people visiting them to use Vande Mataram as a greeting. The GR states that the word ‘hello’ is an imitation of Western culture and merely “a greeting without a specific meaning and evokes no affection.” Maharashtra minister Sudhir Mungantiwar had moved this proposal soon after taking oath in the state. He later backtracked and said that any equivalent word denoting nationalism can be used. Meanwhile, today Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and State Cultural Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar will start a campaign to say Vande Mataram instead of Hello in Vardha Gandhi’s Sevagram.
